PREFACE

 

There is an obvious and increasing trend toward multidisciplinary approaches to understanding toxicological research, incorporating the many fields of biology to begin to understand more fully the impact of anthropogenic contamination of the aquatic ecosystem. The large numbers of presentations and the wide variety of topics that they covered in this symposium, highlight the growing enthusiasm for integrating different fields of research and the importance of this approach in aquatic toxicology.

 

This symposium aimed to draw together internationally recognised speakers whose research focuses on the interactions between behaviour, physiology and toxicology in fish. Presentations covered many areas where behaviour and physiology interlink and the implications that these interactions have for aquatic toxicology. Some of the questions that were addressed within this symposium included:

·         Do contaminants affect predator/prey interactions in aquatic ecosystems and are there implications for ecosystem stability?

·         Is fish behaviour a suitable tool for monitoring the presence of aquatic pollutants?

·         Are early life stages of fish affected by the presence of metals in the environment?

·         How does hypoxia affect fish reproduction?

·         What pollutants affect swimming behaviour?

We would like to thank the sponsors of this symposium, ICA, ILZRO, NiPERA, Kodak Brazil and Elsevier and we are extremely grateful to everyone who participated in this symposium for presenting and sharing their results and for submitting a written piece of work to these symposium proceedings. We are sure they will serve as a valuable research tool for those people continuing to integrate behaviour and physiology in aquatic toxicology.
